2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Cavaliers took Tyson with the 20th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft after he averaged 19.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game as a junior in the 2023-24 college season. Tyson is also an accomplished three-point shooter who drained 36 percent of his three-point attempts last season, but that figure was a staggering 40.2 percent at Texas Tech in 2022-23. His ability to defend and hit three-pointers will ultimately determine his role in the NBA, but he's not expected to see steady minutes off the bench in a contending team such as the Cavaliers. Knowing Max Strus, Isaac Okoro and Georges Niang sit ahead of him in the pecking order at the small forward position, it seems Tyson won't have enough minutes to make an impact on a consistent basis, meaning his upside in standard formats will be almost non-existent. He might be a more popular target in dynasty leagues, but even in that scenario, he figures to be a stash prospect rather than a player who can contribute right away. Read Past Outlooks

Pops for 11 points in loss
Tyson totaled 11 points (2-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 12 minutes during Sunday's 129-109 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Tyson suited up for just the fourth time this postseason, playing an increased role as the Cavaliers slumped to an embarrassing loss. This game was over at halftime after Indiana posted an incredible 80 points in 24 minutes. Cleveland will need to turn things around in Game 5, now having to secure three straight victories to advance to the Conference Finals.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Must have bigger role in future
The Cavaliers are hoping to get more out of Tyson in the 2025-26 season and beyond, according to Bobby Marks of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
The Cavaliers will probably face a complicated situation from a cap perspective this summer, so most of their improvements must come from within. This means some of their role players will need to step up, and Tyson is a strong candidate to do so. The 20th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Tyson averaged a mere 3.6 points and 2.0 rebounds across 9.6 minutes per game in 47 regular-season contests in 2024-25. The Cavaliers must develop him into a regular rotation piece to avoid him being a bust as a former first-round pick.
